Invible wall porch with vaulted ceiling problem

[CurtisSIA]

I have designed my porch to have a vaulted ceiling. However, my front wall is an invisible wall, and when I chose "no ceiling over room", the drywall over the invisible wall disappears. Is there a better way to do this so that the drywall is not missing?

Depending upon what software you have you can fill in the missing drywall using a sloped soffit. To suggest anything else, I need to know what you have (version and title).

I am using Home Designer Suite 2014

That is what walls do to ceilings where the walls are invisible and the "ceiling over this room" is unchecked, so when you want that strip to not be visible, use a soffit - sloped (cabinet tools) and shape-locate-set its material to match the ceiling as a repair. This software is rather wonderful in what it can be guided to do but it is not, never has been nor probably ever will be "perfect" in that the end user has to occasionally take steps to close the gaps of its imperfection. This is one of them.

In the room specification box, does Suite 2014 have a check box for "Use Soffit Surface for Ceiling"?
If it does, I think that will fix the problem.

Ah, this worked. Thanks!
